any other USA corns and is thought to be descended from an ancient Mexican corn called “Harinoso de Ocho” (so it may have
predated the Cherokee in the South Appalachian Mountains and come to them with the Muskogean and other tribes they
assimilated). It has been with the Eastern Cherokee for at least 1000 years.” and Cherokee Corn Elder Carl White
Eagle Barnes calls this corn the “Mother Corn” of the Cherokee peoples.)
